My name is Rylan Stowe. I won't waste your time telling you all of my influences, how I started out or where I come from because if I'm a songwriter worth my salt you can infer all these things from my music. I mean, in the end the music is all this is really about... isn't it? So, I'd appreciate it if before you read any further you gave my song a listen. Being that my songs are poems first, I've included the lyrics in the video.
"Aphrodite Schofield" is the title track and one of nine songs I've crafted for the album I envision. As you can probably tell (if you've listened) I've started some of the foundation tracking already and I'm emboldened by the positive feedback I've recieved from people that posses critical opinions I value and respect.
Over the years I've spent countless hours in countless basements, bars and back-rooms honing my skill as singer-songwriter/storyteller and the songs that will comprise my album are the fruits of those performances; each one, a slice of my life.
Once I have the good fortune to record these songs properly, I am excited about the prospect of making my music available. Then, I look forward to following in the footsteps of those countless, unnamed influences and taking this music on the road. This is a dream of a lifetime and your contribution to the project, aside from being critical, will be be greatly appreciated.
The amount I'm trying to raise will cover the remaining studio expenses for my backing band, mixing, mastering, licensing and both physical and digital distribution.
I can't do this without your support. Please pass this link around!
Thank you,
-Ry
